Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz had a quiet day on Sunday afternoon even though the Commanders scored 42 points. The veteran tight end finished the day with just three catches (on three targets) for 22 yards. He also caught a two-point conversion late in the game. Ertz finished fourth on the team in receiving yards behind Terry McLaurin, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Noah Brown. This was also his lowest yard total of the season. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with Ertz as the Washington offense continued to move down the field all afternoon. The 33-year-old remains a low-end TE1 going forward, as he should still see stable production given that he will be on the field for most of the snaps despite this underwhelming Week 4 output.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus led all Washington pass catchers with 85 yards on Sunday afternoon in their victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Zaccheaus caught all six of his targets, which were only second to Terry McLaurin (10 targets). This was a nice breakout performance for the 27-year-old, as he has caught just one pass through the first three weeks of action. Last week, he did not even see a target, and ran just four routes. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Zacchaeus's performance as he outperformed Noah Brown (26 yards) and rookie Luke McCaffrey (17 yards), who have typically been deployed as the No.2 and No.3 wideouts, respectively. Zaccheaus should remain on your waiver wire for now in standard leagues, but could be worth stashing in deeper 14+ team leagues.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught seven of his 10 targets for 52 yards and a score as the Commanders dismantled the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. This was McLaurin's second straight game finding the end zone. The Ohio State product has put his slow start in the rearview mirror and he has begun to emerge as a solid WR2 in all formats. After catching just eight passes for 39 yards in the first two weeks, McLaurin has formed a strong connection with his rookie QB and has established himself as his go-to option. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting McLaurin in all formats next weekend against the Cleveland Browns.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols served as the No. 2 running back on Sunday with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined and enjoyed a career game, as he punched in two scores with 75 total yards. McNichols tallied 68 of those on the ground, with the other seven coming through the air. Even though Brian Robinson Jr. saw most of the attempts, McNichols shined on the eight carries he saw and scored on an impressive 27-yard run and found the end zone again later on a seven-yard carry. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Ekeler's status, as McNichols could be a low-end flex play next weekend if Ekeler remains out next week.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. led the way on the ground on Sunday afternoon as he totaled 101 yards and a score on 21 carries. He added 12 yards on three catches through the air. The Alabama product saw the lion's share of opportunities on the ground as Austin Ekeler (concussion) could not suit up for this game. This was the first time this season Robinson saw more than 20 carries. As the Commanders began to pull away, Jeremy McNichols saw most of the fourth-quarter attempts. Fantasy managers should continue to view Robinson as a solid RB2 going forward, as the Washington offense is humming on all cylinders.
